nice !!! hm, that "more apps" on the 600 is intriguing... i'm glad they seem to have kept the overall interface of the 700, i think it's really well designed.

I like the position of the ridge/groove on the left-hand side, makes it more book-like somehow.

I like the design of the 600. The 300... not so much.

Upgrade! Do I hear the crowd asking/demanding/begging for an upgrade route from earlier models?

Agreed, the new logo is much more effective. There doesn't seem to be a logo on the prs505 (i just checked).

more more effective and much classier too. those faux-italics really don't cut in on a READING DEVICE logo, seriously.

based on the photos, what do you think are the chances a 700 cover will work on a 600 ?
